Army Admits Re-Education Camp Manual “Not Intended For Public Release”

Fort Leonard Wood Public Affairs director Tiffany Wood has provided the first official response to the shocking U.S. Army document that outlines the implementation of re-education camps, admitting that the manual was “not intended for public release” and claiming that its provisions only apply outside the United States, a contention completely disproved by the language contained in the document itself.

After a reader sent Wood a link to where the manual, entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF), can be downloaded on the army.mil website
(but only by military employees with special credentials), Wood
responded by stating that the document should not be in the public
domain.

“The document was not intended for public release,” said Wood, adding, “Any other questions regarding the

document, you will need to file a FOIA request.”

This means that either
hackers have obtained access to a secure military website and downloaded
the manual or it was leaked by a military employee concerned about the
content of the document.

The manual outlines how
officers will develop programs to “indoctrinate” “political activists”
incarcerated in detention camps into developing an “understanding and
appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.” The document also explains
how “reeducating the I/R facility population or setting the stage for
acceptance of future operations,” is the responsibility of ‘PSYOP’
personnel within the camp.

The document also makes
clear that the internment facility is not only a re-education camp but
also a forced labor camp. Page 277 of the manual states, “Detainees
constitute a significant labor force of skilled and unskilled
individuals. These individuals should be employed to the fullest extent
possible in work that is needed to construct, manage, perform
administrative functions for, and maintain the internment facility.”

Fort Leonard Wood Public Affairs director Tiffany Wood has provided the first official response to the shocking U.S. Army document that outlines the implementation of re-education camps,
admitting that the manual was “not intended for public release” and
claiming that its provisions only apply outside the United States, a
contention completely disproved by the language contained in the
document itself.

After a reader sent Wood a link to where the manual, entitled FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations (PDF), can be downloaded on the army.mil website
(but only by military employees with special credentials), Wood
responded by stating that the document should not be in the public
domain.

“The document was not intended for public release,” said Wood, adding, “Any other questions regarding the
document, you will need to file a FOIA request.”

This means that either
hackers have obtained access to a secure military website and downloaded
the manual or it was leaked by a military employee concerned about the
content of the document.

The manual outlines how
officers will develop programs to “indoctrinate” “political activists”
incarcerated in detention camps into developing an “understanding and
appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.” The document also explains
how “reeducating the I/R facility population or setting the stage for
acceptance of future operations,” is the responsibility of ‘PSYOP’
personnel within the camp.

The document also makes
clear that the internment facility is not only a re-education camp but
also a forced labor camp. Page 277 of the manual states, “Detainees
constitute a significant labor force of skilled and unskilled
individuals. These individuals should be employed to the fullest extent
possible in work that is needed to construct, manage, perform
administrative functions for, and maintain the internment facility.”

The manual also directs
that political activists be confined to isolation and that prisoners be
silenced using by “muffling them with a soft, clean cloth tied around
their mouths and fastened at the backs of their heads.”

In her email response, Wood
falsely claims that, “The document is intended for operations outside
of the continental United States. Depending on the nature and magnitude
of an event will determine the level of U.S. military involvement.”

As we have proven
using only direct quotations and screenshots from the manual, it is
clearly designed to be applied both abroad and “within U.S. territory,”
including against “civilian detainees” incarcerated for “security
reasons, for protection, or because he or she committed an offense
against the detaining power,” as part of “domestic civil support
operations” involving FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security.

The manual also details how prisoners
will be identified by their “social security number,” another glaring
confirmation that the rules apply to U.S. citizens.

The document makes it clear on page 193
that the rules apply to processing American detainees on U.S. soil so
long as the President passes an executive order to nullify Posse Comitatus, the law that forbids the U.S. military from engaging in domestic law enforcement.

It is clear from Wood’s response that
she has either not read the documents properly or has been directed to
downplay their significance by asserting they do not apply within the
United States, a claim clearly disproved by the numerous references
within the manual to how its instructions can be applied as part of
“domestic civil support operations.”
